"Iron" Mike Tyson may no longer be the "Baddest Man on the Planet," but he looked as terrifying as ever in a workout video he recently shared on Instagram:

One professional wrestling promoter would like to see Tyson battle in a different type of comeback match.

On Tuesday, Major League Wrestling CEO Court Bauer took to Twitter to welcome Tyson, who turns 54 years old in June, to the squared circle for a contest that could raise funds for charity:

My all time favorite @MikeTyson is considering an exhibition fight? I'm 100% down to see this BUT what I really would like to see is Tyson finally get in the wrestling ring. @MLW would love to promote that match and in the process help some charities. How about it, Iron Mike?

According to the official MLW website, the promotion has reached out to Tyson for a response.

Like professional sports leagues around the world (but unlike World Wrestling Entertainment and All Elite Wrestling), MLW is currently on hiatus because of the coronavirus pandemic. MLW hasn't yet announced when it will resume promoting and holding live shows.
